Luxury housebuilder, Bellis Homes strive to keep up to date with the latest building trends and in line with rising life expectancies, are considering the needs of tomorrow when it comes to designing their homes and interior features today.

With purchasers becoming ever more savvy when it comes to buying property, especially when they are looking for ‘the forever home’, Bellis Homes are seeing a rise in enquiries from buyers looking for multi-generational friendly features that can adapt to our ageing population.

Indeed, NHBC data reveals that the number multi-generational households in the UK rose by 38% between 2009 and 2014 and that nearly 7% of UK households contain two or more adult generations, whether that be young adults living with parents or grandparents sharing the same quarters.

In the same report, only 16% said that their home would be suitable for multi-generational living although two thirds believed the solution to Britain’s ageing population would be to move towards multi-generational living.

In addition to this, a cinema room and pool & spa area has also been installed for the added entertainment and leisure use from all the family.

But not just this, Bellis Homes has taken the concerns of older residents a step further by installing a lift within Mulliner House to ensure that everyone can have ease of access to each floor of this impressive home, from the spa leisure complex in the basement through to the self-contained quarters on the fourth floor.
